For receiving a Bachelor Degree from the School of Early Childhood Education, studies must last, at least, 8 semesters (4 years), and successfully 240 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) should be collected. All subjects give six (6) ECTS meaning that the workload will be around 150 hours per subject.

Students should pass at least:

• Twenty (20) base subjects corresponding to 120 ECTS
• Ten (10) direction subjects corresponding to 60 ECTS
• One (1) subject from other school of the university 6 ECTS
• One (1) foreign language subject 6 ECTS
• Two (2) subjects of Practice 48 ECTS

The number of offered subjects is usually around thirty (30) in each category (depending on the availability of teaching staff).

During the first 4 semesters, students choose only Base subjects (20 out of 30, 5 in each semester). At last semesters (5 to 8), students choose only Direction subjects (10 out of 30) and attend the 2 obligatory subjects of Practice, while they choose a foreign language subject (usually English) and a subject from another school of Aristotle University.

Optionally, can provide an undergraduate thesis (collecting 18 ECTS, instead of 3 direction subjects), or can participate to Erasmus Program (at 7th semester and collect 30 ECTS, instead of 5 direction subjects).
